March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month and the community will Shine a Light for Anoosh, a fundraising campaign dedicated to raising awareness and supporting colon cancer prevention efforts.

Donate $25 to “purchase a bulb,” symbolizing a collective effort to shine a light on the importance of on-time screenings and early detection.The campaign will kick off with the illumination of the Big Four Bridge in blue—a powerful tribute to the late Anoosh Shariat, a beloved chef and advocate who fought bravely against colon cancer.

Anoosh was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2018 and fought tirelessly to share the message of on-time screening being essential to prevent others from suffering.

This event is proudly sponsored by Chef Dallas McGarity of The Fat Lamb, who is committed to continuing Anoosh’s legacy by raising awareness and encouraging preventive action.

Dallas and Anoosh's widow Paula Barmore joined me on 840WHAS to discuss the March 7 celebration.
